Answer:
960
Step-by-step explanation:
Over here, I'm going to do it in two ways, and either way works, one is just easier to do out:
1st way:
You can represent the percent 120 as a decimal which is 1.20, then you do 800*1.2.
2nd way:
You can use benchmark percents. You find 10 percent of 800 which is 80 and multiply 80 by 2 to get 160, so 20% is 160 dollars. Then you add 160 to 800 (800+160) and get 960.
Please tell me if you have any questions.
If you’re cutting it into half inch pieces, you’ll take the length of the roll and multiply it by 2, so 13•2=26
Let R and B be the number of red and blue marbles respectively.
Then,
R+B = 36
R:B = 5:4
Therefore,
Ratio of red marbles = 5/9
Ratio of blue marbles = 4/9
This means,
R = 5/9*36 = 20 marbles
B = 4/9*36 = 16 marbles
If one blue marble is removed from the bag, the new B= 16-1 = 15 blue marbles and the new total of marbles in the bag = 36-1 = 35 marbles.
The new ratios are
R = 20/35 =4/7
B = 15/35 = 3/7
That is, R:B = 4:3
The reasoning of the student is wrong. When a marble is removed, both the number of blue marbles changes as well as the total of the marbles in the bag. In other words, both the values in the ratio reduce by 1.
